FAQ

1Who’s connected?

The menu on the far left shows, among other things, the list of participants who have joined the ongoing virtual session. There are two types of roles:
• Moderator (rounded square icon): allows you to manage everything;
• Normal participant (round icon)

Also note the small overlaid icons:
• The little white board on a blue background at the top left indicates the presenter;
• Microphone indicates that the participant's microphone is on and can speak and have spoken interactions;
• The headset shows that the participant is an attendee (whose microphone is muted by default).

2 Public Chat

Besides the voice it is possible to communicate in writing. The "Public Discussion" window is opened when you log in. It is possible to reduce it and display it again via the menu by clicking on Public discussion.

It is though important to note that the discussion is not saved: it is lost when the room is closed. The chat menu (via the 3 dots button, called hamburger, at the top of the window) allows you to:
• Save the text of the discussion in an HTML format
• Copy it to clipboard
• To erase it

3Shared Notes

From the left menu you can open the shared notes window. Similar to a simplified Framapad, each participant can write at the same time, forming a shared notes documents composed from all the attendees’ notes

Just like the public discussion, please note that these shared notes will be lost when the room closes. If you wish to keep them, you must export them via the Import/Export button.

4 Presentations

The main area on the right is the space dedicated to displaying Presentations. Only one person at a time can lead the presentation, they must have the status of “presenter”. A moderator can become a presenter himself (the previous presenter then automatically loses control) and can give control to a simple user. You can display a presentation (PDF format or from an office suite, ODF and Microsoft). With the latter you can:
1. Switch slides or pages
2. Zoom and view in full screen
3. Add annotations

5 Audio and video controls

Depending on your role you will have certain icons located on the presentation in the middle.
Depending on the case, you can have two to four icons.
• Mute/Allow to speak: you just mute your microphone but you can easily reactivate it. Only if you have activated your microphone.
• Leave Audio/Rejoin Audio: You mute the sound, so you can't hear anything. By joining you can choose to be a spectator or to activate your microphone (entry into the room).
• Share webcam: to activate your webcam and be seen by other participants.
• Share your screen: Only if you are a presenter, you can share a particular window, a browser tab (Chrome and Chromium) or your entire screen.

If you are only attending in spectator mode, you will see a headset instead of the microphone and the speaker icons. However, you can share your webcam and your screen (if you are a presenter).

6 Bouton Actions

In the lower left corner of the presentation, the button with a plus sign gives access to presenter actions. Moderators always have access to this button. It allows them to become a presenter (the previous one immediately loses this status).

The person leading the presentation then has access to three functions: • Start a survey: allows you to quickly collect the opinion of assistance by asking a simple question. • Load a presentation: to add and/or change presentation. • Share an external video via its URL from a video streaming site such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc.

7 Menu options

In the upper right corner is a 3-dot button opening the options menu. Hereafter are the exit functions:
• End Meeting: The room is closed and everyone is forced to leave. Obviously, only a moderator has access to this function.
• Disconnection: to leave the room (return is possible).

The settings allow you to add alerts, change the language, increase the size of the characters or even deactivate the webcams and desktop sharing.
